Review #17: Most of the cigars ive tried were well rolled, although around 4 out of 25 were too tight. The wrapper is smooth, bit veiny. Surprisingly it is a very light cigar, much lighter compared to the no2 or petit robusto. The tastes were quite flat, floral most of the time and bits of green pepper from th second third onwards. I was disappointed by this corona gorda, maybe I had too high expectations considering how much i like the robustos of this series. Feelings of routine, hunger, dissatisfaction... - Submitted by Dimitris in Athens - Greece on September 11, 2005
Review #16: Clipped the cap and examined the wrapper, which was a med Colorado and showed no signs of blemish or flaw. The initial draw was mild nutty tobacco taste. From the first puff, I had mouthful after mouthful of rich creamy smoke that was velvety on my palate. It was complex, changing the subtle direction several times while smoking the Corona Gorda. It was woody, creamy, almost buttery, nutty, herbal, a tad sweet, and somewhat fruity. While the cigar would not be considered a powerhouse, it was more medium in body. I kept saying that it reminded me of the same feelings I have for the H Upmann Mag 46; subtle flavor changes, and richness at the same time.

Review #15:  Spice and floral notes with a nutty aftertaste. Lot different than a lot of other cubans ive had, even different than most Hoyos, its a lot lighter in body. I see lots of great reviews for this so i suppose anybody should try it to see if they like it. To me, it was alright. Probably wont be repurchasing this stick. I will say that the construction was superb as most Hoyos are but it just lacked the power i like in a good cuban that you\'ll find in Trinidad or a good Monte. I do like this better than the Epicure 2 but thats not saying much since i was more angry at the hour i wasted smoking that piece than the 10 bucks it cost. - Submitted by mprach on April 7, 2005
Review #14: I love it! Lite cigar, but on the contrary it has loads of flavor. One of my top three also! - Submitted by DDP on March 6, 2005
Review #13: Oooh yes, this is now one of my top 3. Very well rolled, looks good enough to eat, unlit aroma of sweet, floral tobacco. Lit the flavours ooze out and make your mouth water, starting off mild (for a havana!) then eases its way to a firm medium flavour and body. Floral, cocoa, vanilla, brown sugar, very very complex and delicious. Burn was un-even but never caused any problems, never had to touch it up at all and no affect to flavour. Very creamy and smooth, unlike the Epicure 2 which is much spicier. Personally I prefer it over the Epi 2. - Submitted by A. Dyer on February 11, 2005
